how many people do you think it will take to push up the drive way....3 and my wife can steer?
if so then when ever you and Hoss can make it over lets do it. maybe bring new plugs too is it possible they got fouled out?

Yeah but he running the SOHN now, it needs to be primed a bit by squeezing the line from the OMP reservoir. It will do it on it's own if it drives though.
I'm pretty sure that post I quoted has the issue outlined pretty well.
I'll bet good money that once this thing burns off all the Vaseline/oil/ and excess hylomar etc etc she will be purring pretty.
I think so too, hard starting rotaries after a rebuild is not that uncommon and most that were hard to start went on to be productive engines in rotary society.

I think I am good on the pull start when it catches and runs that is where I will sit for the next 20min (well maybe tow back in neutral and get a cold one....

If it cranks you can drive it back to where you want it--just dont put a heavy load on it right off.
Shady--you are probably right---it probably just needs a good cough.
